Who says cigar smokers can't be athletes?

[zeebee]

Some of you know my story from the contest I ran last year. Big fat man gets inspired by watching an Ironman triathlon.
Changed my lifestyle, became fit, took on a 70.3 distance triathlon (sucked!).
Sunday I took on Ironman Lake Placid and had success. Some issues on the run, but got it done.
Just wanted to share with you fine folks.

Congratulations on an epic accomplishment!

Congrats Zeebee! Well done!


I must admit, when I'm half in the bag, riding my beach cruiser around town with my wife while smoking a cigar, I feel the total athlete. (heh)

Congratulations. From now on, I'll think of you as a cigar smoking athletic supporter...

Congratulations Zach! It's one thing to start a lifestyle change and quite another to see it through.
What a great accomplishment!

[Cool Breeze]

Awesome.
I'm in the early stages of my lifestyle change. I hope I have the mental fortitude that you do going forward.

Congrats! A full is TOUGH! I've done a few halves, and they were really tough. Lately, I've just been drinking beer, but I'm about to jump back in. Congrats again on an amazing accomplishment . You are now an Ironman for life!!!!
